VERSE 70 INSCRIPTION
In the previous posts, you will have seen the hidden microcode in the centre of the book, the edges of the cover, and the FEZ lady. In fact if you would care to download the image above, you can take a closer look for yourself at those three areas.
But, today's post is about handwritten Verse 70! It was supposedly written as a friendly gesture by Jess to Alf and given to him at the Clifton Gardens Hotel in August 1945. I have always doubted that and the recent posts confirm that doubt even without what you're about to see in the close-ups of parts of the inscription.
Every word in the verse including Jestyn's signature, the inverted commas, and the dash contains micro written code, whilst some of it is a little blurred it is obviously present.
Centre Section of the verse:
Spring:

Lower T crossbar reads: 293N9 |
And to the right, 'and then, and then...
If you look very carefully at the JESTYN signature, you will see letters and numbers within the highlighted area and elsewhere. The code which is written within the signature, whilst small, is still legible. New lens and lighting equipment is proving to be very valuable with more improvements on the way.
In due course, I will complete the full photographic analysis and make it available for the Inscription page and another for the Title page.
Speaking of which, the Title page will be the next post and here's a couple of samples to whet the appetite:
Given that it has been written in a specific code, and we are not yet certain about that, then we have a good-sized sample which hopefully we will be sufficient for us to break that code.
What's really exciting about that is the fact that having now taken some excellent Macro extreme close-ups of the Somerton Man code page, this may lead us to properly and fully cracking the microcode which exists on the code page itself.
